A bill sponsored by Senator Ned Nwoko, which seeks to establish the National Social Security Agency (NSSA) and replace the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, has passed its first reading in the Senate today, Thursday, October 17.

The bill, titled “A Bill for an Act to Establish the National Social Security Agency (NSSA), Repealing the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, and Providing for the Structure, Functions, and Funding of the National Social Security System”, aims to create a new agency under the office of the President.

The proposed agency would be responsible for implementing a comprehensive social security system designed to ensure basic livelihood, dignity, and support for vulnerable populations across Nigeria.

In his explanatory memorandum, Senator Nwoko outlined the need to restructure Nigeria’s social welfare administration, citing the limitations of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs in addressing the long-term needs of those in need.

He emphasized that a more sustainable approach is required to address issues of poverty, unemployment, and social insecurity.

The senator’s proposal seeks to introduce a more efficient and dignified system for providing support, rooted in respect for human dignity and social rights.

It is worth noting that Senator Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, had earlier raised this issue in an open letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, calling for a more effective and data-driven approach to social security in Nigeria.
